GMI Chairman Mick Bettesworth thanked Marinetek and Bellingham Marine for this specific contribution to global marina industry training. 'GMI is strengthening its global reach.

Countries developing their marina industry increasingly realise the development of marina training needs to run parallel with growth in marina infrastructure, facilities and services.'

The AMM course is acknowledged as the most valuable training course within the recognised career pathway for marina managers. The course is one of the key prerequisites to acquiring marina industry certification.
